Ingredients

Scale

Corn Pudding Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears) or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the corn pudding.
  2. Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, heavy cream, eggs, melted butter, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the corn pudding mixture into a greased 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. Bake the pudding: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving to set the custard texture further.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen corn is a great substitute when fresh is unavailable.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on personal taste preference for sweetness.
  • For a richer texture, you can add a half cup of shredded cheddar cheese or a splash of milk.
  • Let the pudding cool for 10 minutes after baking to firm up for easier serving.
